Ms. Lisa Fischer

“Lisa Fischer in concert is addictive. Every performance is so enriching, so exciting, so transcendent that you want more. With remarkable vocal range and vocabulary, Fischer can sing soul, jazz, rock, gospel, pop, folk and classical with equal facility and authority. She often mixes styles in the same song, sometimes in the same vocal line. Her approach tends to be intimate, artful and almost meditative, accompanied by her interpretive dancing, but she also can cut loose and funk with fierceness and rock with abandon.” (Minneapolis Star Tribune)

Powerhouse GRAMMY winning vocalist Ms. Lisa Fischer is touring the world’s finest concert halls and festivals; After four decades of singing background for icons like The Rolling Stones, Luther Vandross, Sting, Tina Turner and Nine Inch Nails, Ms. Fischer set out to take center stage with her celebrated vocal prowess.

Lisa’s heartfelt story in the Oscar-winning “Twenty Feet From Stardom”, altered her musical journey; sharing clips of her legendary duets with Sting, Mick Jagger on “Gimme Shelter”, and accepting her first Grammy for “How Can I Ease the Pain”. She invited with her co-conspirators Grand Baton, to reinvent classics in an organic fusion of Caribbean psychedelic soul and jazzy progressive rock, showcasing Lisa’s flexibility and freedom of expression, exploring her lifelong desire to make music that heals but still rocks the house.
